WCB & Dave are correct - I think we have to be "respectful" to a manager's requests. Does that mean we MUST get help everytime they request it??? Absolutely NOT!. However, I think if they come out on you, you need to listen closely to what he is saying and consider the following:

1. Am I 110% sure I got the play right
2. Is this a play/situation that it is even possible for me to go to my partner for help
3. Could he have possibly had a better angle than me on that play

Communication skills plays a big role in this as well. Remember, perception is reality and if you decide not to get help after a coach comes out on you, make sure you thoroughly explain to him why you can't and/or won't do it. Just my opinion
